Obon Festival Little Tokyo

Soooo yesterday, I went with Jaz to the Obon Festival in Little Tokyo~ but before going there, we stopped by the small plaza first and they had tanabata!

Mmmh, everytime I walk past this, I sit and wonder to myself if I can finish that... I don't think so, but it'd be so awesome (＞ω＜；)

Look at all them monsters who finished ъ(｀―^)

The Obon Fest!

There actually wasn't too much around - we thought they'd have more and better food, but none of them really sounded that great. I wanted to get myself a dango, but everytime they finish cooking it, they run out (*´д｀*)

So... in the end, we went to Marukai for food, then Curry House~

Look at these desserts ≧(´▽｀)≦ I wanted them so much, but you know how it is before you eat. You want everything that looks awesome, but after you eat your food, you're like... uurrgghhhh no mooooorrreeeee.

My kid's meal (＞∇＜；) I LOVE their meatballs~

Afterwards, we went to Kinokuniya and the new Marukai Kawaii store right below Curry House.

Look what they have at the new Marukai Kawaii store!

Laaasheeeesssssss~~~~

And Prisila wig bangs, surprisingly (°_。) didn't expect to see that.

Well, I got my monthly Ageha from Kinokuniya...

And THIS~~~!! ☆ミ Everytime I go to Kinokuniya I look for this, but they never have it (either that or I'm always looking in the wrong place) but this time they do~!

And it comes with a DVD! 

I watched some of it today, and so far I like it, haha.

Lastly - woow over 100 readers! ( ´艸｀) Thank you guys for following~ ! Much love to you guys~

Accessories ❤ Love

Hey dears~

So in my last post, I reviewed Jewerich 2 Lashes but I didn't have any pictures that were good enough to really look at the lashes. Well, I took some better pictures to show you guys the lashes in their full glory, heehee

Without flash

I was trying on eyelid tape for fun that day heehee (＞∇＜；) it's fun to put on!

So yesterday, Rina and I went to Forever 21 to look for headbands, but we couldn't find any there that we liked - so I ended up getting something else:

Ta-daa~

I think it's really pretty. I've been looking into larger accessories lately. Was inspired by Sakurina's spread in this month's Ageha:

Heehee I need to start adding more accessories to my wardrobe

☆ New Jewerich Lashes ☆

Hey dears~ 

So some of you may know from an earlier post that I've been dyying for Jewerich lashes no. 2 - well I found some on e-bay a few weeks ago and decided to order them.

With shipping it all comes out to ~20$ - I'd say about the equivalent of Dollywink lashes with tax give or take a buck or so. 

It took around a week and a half for it to get here - not bad. I'd actually expected longer.

Aaand here it is~ I was happy but at the same time I wasn't happy when it arrived. This was mainly because of reasons not pertaining to the lashes.

My kitten had gotten stuck in my neighbor's garage and it was midnight when I came home and found out. She hadn't eaten the entire day and was crying trying to get out of the garage. My neighbors were sleeping so I couldn't wake them up. (*´д｀*) So I was worried the entire night and couldn't really feel happy about the lashes' arrival. We got her out the next morning so she's good.

Anyways - I gave the lashes a test run and my they were thick and dramatic! 

☆ Lashband: The lashband was stiff - kind of like Diamond Lash lashbands. So you kind of need to wear them in a little - at least that's what I do to get the shape I want.

☆ Design: I love the design! The lashes are looong, thick and dramatic. I love the pointy ends that give an edge to the design and help to make the lashes more noticeable. Now since these lashes are extremely thick and full, I find that it is better to place them from a third distance from the inner corner of your eyes if you have large eyes like me. Otherwise, you kind of get this look

Instead of this:

/failed drawings. They don't really help with me explaining this hahaha. But I did have fun drawing them.

Anyways, yeah I just prefer placing my lashes from a third of my eye from the inner corner:

Like that, hahaha. 

Well, without further ado, here are a few pictures of me wearing them... with my kuromi!! My dear partner in crime:

 I'll take better pictures of me wearing them soon - hopefully during the day. And I won't confuse you guys next time with my failed diagrams.

Sister Lifestyle & Purikura

Hi! Rina and Mei here, updating together! Soo, yeah, Rina's little post first, then Mei's. 「Wow, we are referring to ourselves in third person? Eh, yeah. It makes sense though since we are writing this together... through the power... of... MEI'S NIMBLE FINGERS ON THE KEYBOARD! OH YEAH! Yeah... 」

☆.｡.:*･ﾟ☆.｡.:*･ﾟ☆☆.｡.:*･ﾟ☆.｡.:*･ﾟ☆

Rina Here! To update you with the food lifestyle and new buys!

Hello, welcome to Rina and Mei's Lifestyle FOODSTYLE foodstyle.. mm food.

"House Foods" Tofu! - Soooo delicious. I ate it in 2 days...without sharing. HAHAHA! No.. really. It's soo good with homemade miso soup.

"Sweet Miso" - It's low in sodium, so I think it's better for your health. (: You add a little bit of Dashi no Moto and a spoon full of the Miso Paste in approximately 2 cups of water and..VOILA! good sweet miso! And do not forget to add wakame..dried seaweed. (:

"Yamasa" Kamaboko! - I'm not a big fan of this brand, since its more pasty like.. but it still works. (: I prefer this other brand.. although I can't seem to remember what it's called.

"Nimono Moriawase(s)" - My favorite.. pickled veggies. SOOOO delicious! (:

"Mango Mousse" - Soo tasty.. (: it's like mango-y and soft and and .. it's like falling into a mangolicous dream.

"Steamed Cheese Cake" - It's good and not too sweet. Unfortunately, I only got 1 bite from it and my mom made me give the rest to my little sister Ayu.

"Hello Kitty - Ramune (strawberry)" - Tastes like strawberry ramune. Nothing special, except for having Hello Kitty there.

"Strawberry Soda" - I love it. That's all I can say..

From left to right:

The first item is a soysauce holder for bento. Except I use it to put my antiseptic for my earrings there so I can take it to work with ease. (:

The small Hello Kitty bag - suggested usages to store: keys, beads, candy, paper clip, etc..

I use it to put the soysauce holder. (:

Air in Chocolate (: one of Rina & Mei's favorite chocolate. (:

Koala's March and Pocky.

Super delicious..

Ka-Ru - Curled snacks. (: It's low in calories and tastes really good. Its like... waaaaooo. :D

Goodies bought from Cosmeland

Dolly Wink. Can't wait to give these a try.

Light brown lashes: They don't really show up well.. so truthfully I have no idea what to use them for..

(: Rina after work in her robe.. because she's lazy.

Yay Frizzy hair. (: From all those chemicals.. hahaha..

Half a heart for my boyfriend.. (: in Hawaii for a wedding reception.

Uniform! :o

Yaho! This is Mei (･w･)

So Rina and I went to Round 1 today to take some sister purikura! Something we barely evarr do.

Make-up:

So I asked D-Tan if there were any local stores that might sell Diamond Lash and she said that they had some selling over in Marukai stores. Sooo, after Purikura, I decided to try and see if the one close to my house had Diamond Lashes. AND LO AND BEHOOLD!! 

Fairy Eye!!

The first series were there on sale for about 9 bucks per pack. Ψ(｀∇´)Ψ YAAY and they also had Melliesh lashes! Something I haven't seen around here before. 「I'm beginning to see Melliesh products popping up in random asian cosmetic stores too. ie: blush and gloss.」It was so nice, the ladies who were in front of me had huge shopping carts full of groceries and they let me go through since I only had one item. And I was actually ready to pay the extra dollar because I wasn't a member, but the lady behind me helped me by letting me use her membership card (＞∇＜；) soo sweeett!! ❤ Next time I'm going there, I'm getting a card. (☆.☆) so many good things in there...

Wao, I'm not feeling too well (°_。) I just got a headache and cold chills about a half hour ago, while I was uploading the pictures from my phone to my laptop. So, I'm going to leave and get some sleep. 

Byee~ ❤ Mei
